Classrooms Participating Spring 2016

We will send you our list of participants with their emails. You will also receive your individual password and username to use in editing your personal class page within this web site. From there you can go ahead and contact each other, collaboratively form a web page for your particular project, using Weebly, a wiki or Google Docs. BE SURE TO KEEP YOUR PROJECT POSTED ON YOUR CLASS WEB PAGE - OR AT LEAST A LINK TO IT. There you will begin planning your project. Keep it as simple or as complex as your comfort level! Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.

We also have several Food and Culture Ambassadors who are available to assist you in their fields of expertise. We are thrilled to have these volunteers from all over the world - Russia, The Netherlands, the United States, Italy and the Philippines!

This is the first group to participate in this project, and this will be a learning experience for all of us. I am sure that we will discover many ways to make the project better for the session next Fall.

This project will be the ultimate in Personalized Learning - that is when students decide what they will learn, how they will learn it, with whom, using which resources and activities, designing their own schedule and deciding how they will demonstrate their learning (performance-based assessment.)

The only requirements are that you collaborate with a class in another country (or if you cannot find one this Spring, then in another state), and that you contribute to the 3 main products for Food and Culture - 1.) a video, 2.) a recipe with essays and illustrations, and ) titles of at least 3 recommended children's books by authors from your country.
